Christmas 2023

Heaver House was the perfect location for our family Christmas. We absolutely loved the space and so appreciated the house being wonderfully decorated for the festive period. The house really speaks for itself with the amount of space (we were 9) and amazing decor. We appreciated the owners level of trust with personal items which made our stay feel like visiting a friend’s home and not just a rental. The housekeeper Edith was an absolute star, incredibly helpful and a real added bonus to our break. Lara is very responsive to any enquiries or needs. Would highly recommend.

We felt right at home

Lara did a fantastic job with communicating with me in the lead up to our trip and all of the details about our stay. We had such a wonderful time at the house as a group of 10 adults and our 3 year old - it was very comfortable and we had everything we needed. Edith was so helpful and a delight to be around as well. Would absolutely stay in the house again and can't thank Lara enough for everything!

About the host

Hosted by Lara Cross

Hi, I'm Lara - I'm originally from South Africa but moved to London in my twenties and decided to stay because I loved it so much! I have 3 children, 20, 18 and 16, who all love London as much as I do. I really enjoy sharing my home and experiences in a city that I've called home for over 28 years.

Why they chose this property

SW London is the prettiest, greenest part of London, with 3 huge parks on our doorstep and a stone's throw from central London. You can be in Oxford street within 20 minutes or Wimbledon within 15. The newly opened Battersea Power Station is only 8 stops away on the northern line. There are lots of places to eat in Balham and Clapham, all within walking distance of Heaver House. It's a fabulous, fun, family area with lots of space and lots to do.

What makes this property unique

Heaver House is a big, double fronted property with so much room for all guests.
We have a beautiful, leafy, green garden which comes into it's own in the summer!
Our home is located between Balham and Tooting Bec tube stations as well as British Rail from Balham. All 3 offer amazing and quick access to every part of London!
You can easily walk to both stations within 10 minutes.

We have 4 fantastic house cats who live her permanently - Jasper, Louis, Margot and Raven - they are the loveliest cats and will curl up on your lap if you want them to.
We have someone come in daily to feed them and check up on them (timings with prior arrangement)
